The City of Falls Church by the Districts
The City of Falls Church
L
ocated within the Capital Beltway, the City of Falls
Church is building on its history, creativity, and
“hometown” feel to expand its existing base of
outstanding retail establishments. We seek an exciting mix
of retailers who need a loyal audience — the residents and
workers of Falls Church.
The City of Falls Church has a strong day and
evening population that is well-educated, wellcompensated,
and committed to the community. They are
underserved in grocery, goods and services, dining choices,
and home goods retail, to name only a few.
We are excited to fill these needs with new developments
that will appeal to the retailer and the customer alike. Within
the next three years, approximately 65,000 square feet of new
retail space will be built in the City.

City of Falls Church Retail Study
In 2005, the City retained Retail Compass, LLC to evaluate our place in the local markets and to provide a realistic
perspective for our retail goals. They concluded:
• The demand for retail within City borders exceeds what is currently under construction or planned by
almost 90,000 square feet.
• The City of Falls Church is vastly underserved in the Food and Beverages retail category.
• In the next three years, over 500 new residential units and almost 120,000 square feet of new office
space will further contribute to the growing retail demand.
What You Can Expect:
• The City’s willingness, interest, and drive to create new retail
hubs will encourage retailers to reevaluate Falls Church.
• New development under construction will offer retailers
brand-new, retail-appropriate space. (However, if you are
looking for funky, one-of-a-kind space, we have that, too.)
• Our residents seek local options for their spending. They
are no longer willing to regard Tysons Corner, Arlington,
and Alexandria as their only shopping alternatives.
• The City of Falls Church customer base has a long-standing
tradition of supporting local retailers in the community…
because they are OURS.
1. West End
The Western gateway to The City of Falls Church offers strong retail presence with the Giant-anchored Falls
Plaza and West End Plaza.
2. Broad-Penn
An emerging retail district, three new developments give Broad-Penn identity. The Byron, The Broadway, and
The Spectrum provide a solid base of new retail opportunities for this central section of Broad Street.
3. City Center
At the northwest corner of the busy intersection of Broad and South Washington, this area is preparing for
redevelopment. It is the targeted site for the community-oriented retail, residential and commercial hub of the City
of Falls Church.
4. South Washington Street
The high-volume of street traffic along this corridor creates significant retail opportunities that will be further
enhanced by the introduction of the Pearson Square development, as well as numerous infill projects.
